lemonberry

Apologies, I assumed common knowledge when I shouldn't have. It's a lovely orchid that resembles a slipper.

Here's a link from the USDA Forest Service:

I walk an old logging trail near my house. 5 years or so ago I was walking and came across a lady slipper. Then another and another. I stopped counting at around 100. I've never seen so many in one place. It was incredible. I stopped taking people there when they've bloomed to help preserve them. It's a free and public place, but on a lightly travelled road so it doesn't actually get much traffic. Anyone that takes that walk at the right time of year will see them, but I've no interest in helping the inevitable happen if word gets out.

I saw a news article recently where the headline was something about someone's "cancer journey". Maybe I'm old - only 51! - but I thought it was kind of a tasteless way to put it. That said, language is a malleable thing and no one needs my approval.

This does sound incredible. If there's anywhere to follow your progress please let us know.

The snail (limpet) tooth sent me down a rabbit hole and I found this article on the "toughest" (rather than hardest) material on earth.

Congrats on your sobriety! I'm creeping up on 8 years myself. I agree Gin doesn't phase me at all. That said, I could see it bothering some people, but I think that's part of the process. The stronger one's sobriety gets the less likely something like this will bother them.

I was a precocious teen - reading philosophy and history in addition to fantasy and science fiction - and came across Crime & Punishment in a local bookstore that I purchased paperbacks and Dungeons & Dragons books. The back sounded interesting and the book looked deep and philosophical so I purchased it. Despite it not being a great translation I found the book and topics covered really interesting and went on to read most of Dostoyevsky works.

Thank you. Appreciated!

This is the amount I shoot for in the winter - I live in New England - it's made a huge difference in my life. I'm totally open to it being placebo though and I don't care. I don't supplement with it during the summer.

Great idea!!

I've had a post card based business idea for ages. Can anyone recommend a printer that prints quality postcards? I'm looking for something in the sub $2,000 range. I pulled that number out of thin air so I have no idea of that's a too much or too little.

Full title: The deskilling of web dev is harming the product but, more importantly, it's damaging our health – this is why burnout happens

Unrelated to the health aspects, but if you like electronic music and the Didgeridoo check out Aphex Twin's album "Digeridoo". It's so good.

I'm old enough that I took drafting in 7th grade. One tip I remember is to turn the pencil slightly as you use it. I think this was to help maintain the pencil's shape, but there my be other less obvious reasons.

I took woodshop too. The shop teacher seemed to enjoy scaring us with stories of the students that goofed off in shop to horrific consequences. That's also where I learned to be careful with air compressors around open wounds.

I was just coming to post this. That site is a treasure.

This afternoon I was speaking with a friend and mentioned that I need to find a lawyer for contracts. His immediate response was, "you don't need a lawyer, just use AI". Not an avenue I'm interested in going down.

I found this today via their subdomain https://privacy.commonsense.org after looking into some privacy concerns I had with an app.

I don't have children so I can't vouch for the content, but this is an important topic so I figured I'd share.

"Ring species are a particularly fun one"

This is really interesting, thank you. I've never heard of "ring species" before.

Is that different than a "Croque Monsieur"? For whatever reason I've been watching Jacques Pépin videos recently. The crust on his "Croque Monsieur" is incredible.

Not to mention the stillness and silence of new fallen snow. Probably the closest in life we come to the stillness and silence of death.

Have you looked at MetaFilter? I've been a lurker there for years, but have never contributed so I don't know what that process looks like. But their tagline is "Community Weblog". It might be worth checking out.

This looks really cool. Bookmarked. I hope I can make some time to play with it. Nice work.

If I remember correctly I took the interviewer's question to mean "now that you're aware of these cognitive biases are you still affected by them?" not "do you experience cognitive biases?". I don't see the first question at odds with the universality claim. The latter would be.

"Kahnemann had the intellectual honesty"

I once heard an interviewer ask him if Kahneman was still susceptible to cognitive biases after reading the book. He said something to the effect of "absolutely, they're tough to escape". I really appreciated that. People that recognize and acknowledge the fallibility of their own minds are a breath of fresh air.

"Stand by Me" was based on "The Body" from that same book. Great collection.

The fact that I want to delete it infuriates me. The fact that you can't delete the app infuriates me more.

I open it semi-regularly with some naive hope that it won't be garbage.

Andrew Huberman did an episode in October on the lymphatic system. I learned a lot. Highly recommend.

This is really interesting, thank you.

These are gorgeous. Nice work.

As someone unfamiliar with this field, I'm amazed at how readable this is. Must be a great professor.
